VSOP Cognac | 40% ABV | 80 Proof | 750mL | Cognac, France | French Oak Maturation
Process & Profile
Le Portier Shay VSOP Cognac brings together French distilling traditions and the vision of Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe. Created with spirits entrepreneur Jay Bradley, Le Portier honors Sharpe’s grandmother, Mary Porter, whose influence helped shape his life and career.
Produced in Cognac, France, Shay combines eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, and Fins Bois. Traditional Charentais copper pot distillation and maturation in French oak develop its layered fruit, confectionery, and spice character. Its VSOP designation means the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend has aged for at least four years, resulting in a cognac suited to sipping and classic cocktails.
